William's Story: A zest for life.

'Digital medicine' used for cancer patients in Minnesota for first time ever.

When Proteus Discover is activated, amazing things start to happen.

Proteus Discover is comprised of ingestible sensors, a small wearable sensor patch, an application on a mobile device and a provider portal. Once activated, Proteus Discover unlocks never-before-seen insight into patient health patterns and medication treatment effectiveness, leading to more informed healthcare decisions for everyone involved.

More engaged patients

With Proteus Discover, patients can easily monitor their medication-taking patterns on their mobile device.

Optimized therapies

Physicians have access to objective data that enables them to initiate, titrate, eliminate medication.

Improved outcomes

Health systems are able to measure treatment effectiveness and optimize therapies.

An innovation on-ramp for health systems

Proteus Discover is the world’s first Digital Medicine offering designed for health organizations searching for an efficient, patient-centric approach to measure, manage and improve the health of patient populations. Proteus Discover provides the tools needed to build efficiency and measurement into the delivery of care, and an opportunity to mitigate the high costs of uncontrolled diseases. The offering can also become an essential component of a health system’s ACO or health plan implementation strategy.

Where can Proteus Discover make the biggest impact? With high-risk populations, including patients with hypertension and diabetes. In a recent study patients with uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes who used Proteus Discover achieved significantly greater reduction in blood pressure (BP) and LDL cholesterol, and were more likely to reach their BP goal than usual care without Proteus Discover.1

Proteus Discover can help reduce the cost of healthcare by helping physicians treat their patients with chronic conditions to goal.

About 1 in 4 people suffer from two or more chronic conditions such as hypertension or type-2 diabetes2

84% of U.S. healthcare spending is on patients with chronic conditions2

Unlocking actionable insights for physicians and care teams

Proteus Discover removes the guesswork around diagnosis and treatment by providing insight into patient health and medication treatment effectiveness. The Discover report for healthcare providers is easy and quick to read, smoothly integrating into current treatment workflows.

With evidence in hand, physicians and their care teams are better equipped to:

Make objective decisions about when to initiate, titrate, and eliminate medicine

Optimize treatment therapies and get patients to goal faster

Engage in richer, more meaningful conversations with patients based on clear, objective data

Putting patients in control of their health

Proteus Discover helps patients get better, faster — by providing easy access to important data around their medication-taking and health patterns, such as activity, rest and heart rate. With information in hand, patients are able to make more informed healthcare decisions and become more engaged with their overall health.

Once activated by the patient, Proteus Discover:

Provides visibility into medication-taking patterns

Increases connectivity to the patient’s care team

Allows for more relevant conversations with healthcare providers

Makes doctor visits more productive

Proteus Discover is easy to use and seamlessly integrates into a patient’s daily routine. In a recent study, more than 80% of patients reported that Proteus Discover facilitated more helpful conversations with their healthcare professionals and improved their healthcare experience.

How does Proteus Discover work?

Proteus Discover consists of an ingestible sensor the size of a grain of sand, a small wearable sensor patch, an application on a mobile device and a provider portal. The patient activates Proteus Discover by taking medication with an ingestible sensor. Once the ingestible sensor reaches the stomach, it transmits a signal to the patch worn on the torso. A digital record is sent to the patient’s mobile device and then to the Proteus cloud where with the patient’s permission, healthcare providers and caregivers can access it via their portal. The patch also measures and shares patient activity and rest.

The Pill

The ingestible sensor is the result of innovative manufacturing processes that combine high-volume semiconductor and pharmaceutical technology. It’s made of elements found in a typical diet and has been approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and CE marked in Europe.

The Patch

Developed by a team of patient-centered designers and engineers, the patch is an FDA-approved sensor that tracks medication taking, steps, activity, rest and heart rate. The patch was designed for comfort and ease of use, and is refined by years of user research.

The Discover App

The Discover App is designed to help patients keep track of their medications, steps, activity, rest, heart rate, blood pressure and weight. Patients can also set multiple medication-taking schedules and receive notifications.

The Discover Portal

The Discover Portal allows physicians to quickly drill down into specific patient data points and allocate care team resources to those patients who need it most. The information in the portal provides insight that helps healthcare professionals determine the best treatment, using an easy-to-read printed report. These reports may also be used in conversations with the patient to enable shared decision-making and improve physician-patient relationships.

Non-adherence is multifactorial and must be addressed by understanding the underlying cause (e.g. side effects, lack of understanding of the disease, and dosing schedule). Providers lack accurate, timely adherence data necessary to diagnose non-adherence and its root cause and allow the patient and provider to respond quickly to poor adherence.4

US Hypertension and Diabetes Cluster-Randomized, Controlled Study

With Proteus Discover 98% of patients with uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes who failed to achieve goal while on therapy with at least 2 anti-hypertensives and 1 diabetes medicine achieved their BP targets within 90 days.

One-year time horizon with one month of Proteus use based on results from the UK Hypertension Registry Study. Value greater if considering the data from the US Hypertension and Diabetes cluster-randomized controlled study
